I was reading a list of all of Journey's songs and they were rated from the worst (No. 173) to the best (No. 1). I didn't recognize any song until Mother, Father and it was rated 138. Then as I continued, I hadn't heard any of the next 80 or so until When You Love A Woman at #49. Maybe I have heard of them but didn't know their names. Anyway, I don't know who comes up with which song is better than another. BTW, Feeling that Way was the No. 1 song. huh???

Saw Journey live twice. There is a reason Steve Parry is simply known as "The Voice".

The difference between Steve and Freddie is that Steve always sang perfectly. He took care of his voice, where Freddie did a lot of drugs and made lifestyle choices that hurt his voice (we wll have our demons). Even Steve's vibrato was perfectvibrato was immaculate...an area where Freddie falls flat. Steve is quieter more thoughtful person and Freddie was out there and flamboyant..very different styles. But for pure singing Steve is unmatched. Mother Father from the same concert is mind blowing.

Idc what culture you are, when you hear Steve Perry you get chills😄😄!!

People say that Steve Perry sounds the same live or in studio... respect 👍

And this is LIVE ... no Auto-Tune, no auto-correct, no studio enhancements. WOW!

The first time I saw Journey in concert was in 1981, and I thought that there’s no way that Steve Perry can replicate live what he sound like on record....and he actually sounded better live! He also sounded flawless for the entire 2 and half hour show, and it was an outdoor show in Phoenix on a 95 degree day.

Steve Perry's voice is mesmerizing!

Steve Perry is the GOAT 🐐 ty for reacting!

I saw Journey in concert 3 times between the 80s and 90s Steve Perry sounds the same in person as he does on recording. My favorite of all time

Perry was incredible with his live vocals. So on pitch .

Journey’s first hit was “Lights.” You’ll enjoy Steve Perry’s vocals.

Next up from this concert is 'Mother Father'!! It's A MUST!!!!! It's a 'Masterpiece'!!! Neal Schon's guitar solo at the end, according to Steve Perry, the producers said that the solo was 'too long for radio play and that it needed to be shorten!!' Steve argued with them and after words back and forth and so on. Steve told them, that 'if the radio stations want to cut in to bring in the next song. He was fine with that. BUT! They were NOT going to cut Neal's ending solo!! So there you have it! It's one of the greatest guitar Neal Schon solo's ever!! Other great songs from Classic Journey are ........ 'Girl Can't Help It, Why Can't This Night Go On Forever, The Party's Over (I would suggest the studio version), Ask The Lonely, Light's, Send Her My Love, Message Of Love, Still She Cries, Edge Of The Blade, Escape (studio or the live version from the Houston concert), Still They Ride, When You Love A Woman, Wheel In The Sky (react to the studio version and then the live version from Houston concert), Separate Ways (the long studio version), After The Fall'. And I think that's about it for now!! ...lol... Happy Journey!!

It is impossible to find a bad Journey song! "Faithfully"," Lovin Touchin Squeezin" "Separate Ways" are my faves ❤ SO blessed to grow up in the 80's, and 1981 is my favorite music year across R&B, Rock, Rap; Freshman year of High School in Brooklyn; BEST TIMES!

I have been to concerts that when the group starts singing, you wonder if this is the same band. And then you see Journey in concert and they sound even better than the cassette.

this entire concert is straight up FIRE 🔥

Steve Perry singing live is something else.

Perry’s vocals and Schon’s guitar are perfection in this song.

Steve Perry the best Malé voice ever no doubt about

I wonder if you've ever heard Marty Robbins? I still get chills every time I hear him, he can tell a story in a song. Big iron, Kaw-Liga, El Paso, Ghost riders in the sky, I walk alone.... His voice makes my hair stand up. I don't care for country music normally but his voice is amazing.

He adored Sam Cooke since he was a kid. His mom's car radio played "Cupid" by Sam C, and homie was hooked. He's American of Portuguese descent. His dad was a singer and radio personality back in the day. Love this guy, and this band.

The very best ever!

Steve "The Voice" Perry was second to none when it comes to frontman vocals and singing live. His biggest influence was Sam Cooke. His mother loved Cooke and would have it on the radio when he was growing up, and it shaped the way he wanted to emulate. Any live performance from that 1981 Houston "Escape" tour show is gold! Especially Mother-Father if you haven't done that one. There are some great ones live in Tokyo, too like "Still They Ride". That's one of Steve's greatest sounding tracks for sure. Back then bands made money touring - not record sales. There was no auto-tune or digital music so they had to be able to sound great live in order to be considered a successful band. That's just the way it was. The reason all these bands from that era are considered legends is because they endured by putting on fantastic live performances in front of millions of fans over 5 to 10 year period.

I saw these guys in the early 80's and have to say it was the best concert I ever attended. I got my seat last minute for 20 bucks and ended up behind the stage which turned out to be the best seats in the house as the stage was setup so Steve could sing for us as well as those in the front and he alternated throughout the performance. Then nice thing was I had a bird eyes view of both the drummer and the piano player throughout the night and both the electric and bass played for us as well.. A bag of weed in hand. It was a blast.

Wheel in the Sky and anything off Escape is golden. Faithfully, Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin, and other great songs exist bu the Escape album is their most triumphant achievement.

I was fortunate enough to see and hear Journey on the "Escape" and the "Frontier Tour. Simple Awesome Amazing and Incredible ❤😊. His Voice is So Awesome and Amazing!!!!!!!

That outro, magic.

I'm a devoted Journey fan. I saw them live in Long Beach CA during their Raised on Radio tour in 1986. A night I will never forget. Check out Raised on Radio, The Girl Can't Help It,Lovin Touchin Squeezin, When You Love a Woman, and Hopelessly Inlove With You. They delivered.

Loving, Touching Squeezing. Separate Ways, Wheel in the Sky, Anyway You Want It all are great.

Girl Can't Help It 1986 Live .... Steve Kills It AGAIN !!!

The cool thing about Steve Perry for all the brothers out there is that Steve’s biggest early influence was none other than Sam Cooke. The most influential American soul singer of all time! And if you listen, you can hear Cooke’s influence in Steve singing style. And I’m voting for Journey’s “Only the Young”. It’s a fantastic song!

How good is Steve Perry? This is live, just sit with that for awhile. The best.

Steve Perry, a/k/a The Voice, IMO is the best singer who puts his heart and soul into every song he sang. One of the last songs Steve did with Journey was When You Love A Woman. His voice is crazy good. React on that one. With hair down to his ass (which he looked mighty fine by the way) he did the video in a tremendous amount of pain because he had suffered an accident while hiking in Hawaii and needed surgery for his hip. I believe that's why he decided to hang up his Journey shoes and get out of the business. Fortunately, he came back with his first album in 20 years about 5 years ago (Traces) and his voice is still beautiful. The song When You Love A Woman was the only song Journey was even nominated a Grammy for, which I think is crazy. And that was in 1997!!! Plus, Journey has had hit song after hit song, yet they weren't inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until 2017! Yet all these other weird ass bands I've never heard of are in there. Journey NEVER received the recognition they deserved. No wonder Steve said 'I'm outa here' after he was injured.
